Session 3: Artificial Intelligence - A Human Creation with Human Impact

This section dives deeper into the humanistic aspect of the technological development, and in this discussion we highlight artificial intelligence (AI) - the new and most important technologies of today. Technology is not just about coding, machine learning, hardware, raw materials, policy papers and regulation. It is about people. Humans. Those that have created, designed, developed and innovated the codes and algorithms, but also those whose lives are affected by the very same technologies.

We dive into specific concerns such as biases, inadequate representation and digital inequality. But also how AI can contribute to a more democratic digital future. Through the artistic space, AI-artist Cecilie Falkenstrøm shows the utopia and dystopia of our digital future and extend the human imagination showing human fears and hopes for the future of tech and democracy.
